Ok this is a crazy rain! In Athens it started at 4 in the morning with big booms every few seconds.. and it keeps on for 5 hours with the same tense. Many roads are flooded, the rivers (esp. kifissos) is close too.. This is damn crazy for us here (and for February). I really think they do something with the weather.check the photo here [link to www.zougla.gr]

Re: Athens under water after several hours of rainfall!!! Italy too!!! More to come!!!

Greece is a client of Weather Modification Incorporated. They've gone from being a country with very little rainfall diring the winter months with no rain at all usually between late May and late October to having a huge increase in rain particularly this year.

Description Torrential rain caused widespread flooding in many parts of Attica on Friday with the fire service receiving more than 400 calls to pump out flooded basements or rescue stranded vehicles. The rainfall, which started in the early hours of the morning, flooded several roads with the areas of Aegaleo, Nikaia, Haidari and Peristeri in the western suburbs among the worst hit. The rivers of Ilissos and Pivrodafni both broke their banks with witnesses reporting seeing parked cars being swept away in the Pikrodafni River. Several roads were closed off including Pireos Street due to heavy flooding at the Hamosternas junction, NATO Avenue near Aspropyrgos, Dimokratias Street and coastal Poseidonos Avenue near the junction with Syggrou Avenue. The Athens-Corinth national highway was flooded at the Skaramanga junction and parts of Piraeus, Drapetsona and Kalamaki were also badly affected with several reports of people trapped in their cars. The flooding caused problems with the operation of the Athens tram and led to many buses being taken off the roads. There were some disruptions with ferry travel. Flooding at electricity substations in Terpsithea and Korydallos caused power cuts early in the morning but power had been widely restored shortly after 10 a.m. [link to hisz.rsoe.hu]

Terrible indeed, she was trapped in her car and when passerby tried to help her she panicked and lost consciousness and then died on the way to the hospital. Doctors believe it was a shock and heart attack, but the exact cause will be verified later.
